Clears RAM usage instantly by flushing the standby list, modified page list, and working sets — the same mechanism used by tools like Ghost Spectre's ReduceMemory. Accessible from the right-click context menu on your desktop, no UAC prompt required after setup.

Right-click desktop
       ↓
  trigger.vbs  →  schtasks /run  (silent, no window)
       ↓
  Task Scheduler  (InteractiveToken + HighestAvailable)
       ↓
  run_hidden.vbs  →  cmd.exe  [window = 0]
       ↓
  EmptyStandbyList  workingsets
  EmptyStandbyList  modifiedpagelist
  EmptyStandbyList  standbylist
  Delete user temp files
  Flush DNS cache

Why no UAC: Task Scheduler registers the task with InteractiveToken and HighestAvailable — pre-authorized at setup, no prompt needed on each run.

Why no CMD window: The context menu calls wscript.exe (windowless), which then runs cmd.exe with window parameter 0 (hidden).

Why no disk spike: Pagefile reset and Prefetch deletion from v1 are removed entirely. Only RAM is touched.

3. Accept the UAC prompt (only time it will appear)
4. Wait for all 5 steps to complete

The following files are created automatically during setup: run_hidden.vbs and trigger.vbs

Windows 10 — Right-click on Desktop → ReduceMemory Atmeg

Windows 11 — Right-click on Desktop → Show More Options → ReduceMemory Atmeg

Check results in Task Manager → Performance → Memory — the In Use value will decrease.

Right-click uninstall.bat → Run as administrator

Removes the Scheduled Task, context menu registry entry, and EmptyStandbyList.exe from System32.
